Students from New Trier High School in Evanston, IL have been coming to Rowe Elementary weekly to tutor students in the after-school program. The Rowe scholars have been enjoying the company of their high school tutors, as well as learning a lot with them. Thank you New Trier for your homework help!

Rowe afterschool kids attended the Martin Luther King Jr. literacy fair put on by the Project YES! AmeriCorps members. Activities included but were not limited to: book mark making, poetry, dream writing, and the story bus. All the kids had a lot of fun and really enjoyed going home with a bunch of books and prizes!

On January 8 Noble Street High School dance and gym teach, Mr. Pagan, offered his dance expertise to the Rowe After School Age scholars. Teaching the cultural dances of salsa, merengue and bachata, the scholars learned to move thier hips, wave their hands and step in time to the beat. It was fun for all involved, from scholars and teachers to parents!
